UFirst is offering local high school seniors entering college a chance to win a scholarship to help finance their education. UFirst is participating in the New York State Credit Union League's statewide credit union scholarship program. This program offers UFirst members the chance to win scholarships to either a two-year or four-year accredited educational institution.
To be eligible, students must be a member of UFirst FCU and a high school senior attending college for the first time in the fall of 2008. Student/applicants will be competing against other credit union members from across the state. Applicants will be judged on their academic achievements, extra-curricular and community activities and the quality of a written essay.
Last year the NYS Credit Union League awarded $13,500 in scholarships through this program. UFirst FCU awarded $1500 to three members in 2007.
